Who Gave Us The Right To Protest?

There has been a buzz today about Palin getting on her own supporters as they chanted "louder", thinking they were protesters. Despite that, there is something missing in her statement to the so-called "protesters":

"I would hope at least that those protesters have the courage and the honor of thanking our veterans for giving them the right to protest"

There has been a few variations of the quote today, but Keith Olbermann just played video of it and that is what she said. So when do our soldiers "give us rights"? I thought they just protected them, along with our freedoms. It sounds like Sarah just dissed our founding fathers.

UPDATE:

Here's the video

Military service is honorable. We have the right to protest wether we send our Armed Forces to fight in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. or not.
